Free Veterinary Wellness ExaminationCongratulations! Thanks for giving a companion animal a new start, and for supporting a local shelter. This is an exciting time for you – and your new pet.
To help get your pet off on the right paw, veterinarian members of the Denver Area Veterinary Medical Society (DAVMS) listed in this booklet will provide a free veterinary wellness examination within 14 days of the date of the adoption of your new pet.
Please be sure to keep this booklet as a reference even af-ter the free examination; you’ll find many resources about how to be a responsible pet owner and how to keep your new pet healthy.
The Free Veterinary Wellness ExamThis free examination will help you and your veterinarian assess the overall health of your pet. At your first visit you should expect your veterinarian to perform a complete health evaluation. This begins with a review of your pet’s life style, behavior, and diet. A complete physical examina-tion will be performed including dental evaluation, body condition scoring, and a pain assessment. Based on the information provided in the history and the finding of the physical exam, your veterinarian can discuss any medical concerns, infectious disease risks, parasite control, dental care, behavioral concerns, and nutritional considerations. You and your veterinarian can then develop a specific plan based on your pet’s individual needs to keep them healthy and happy for many years. Because this is a thorough exam and you will need time to talk to your veterinarian about your new pet, make sure you allow for enough time for the visit when you call to schedule your appointment.
The free exam does NOT include any additional tests, ad-ministrative costs, vaccines, medications, or treatments. Please discuss fees for any extra services before they are performed. Mobile clinics may charge a fee because the veterinarian is making a house call. Be sure to take this booklet to your exam so the veterinarian can record the results of the exam on the inside back cover.
Choosing a VeterinarianIn selecting a veterinarian, your goals should be to find the doctor that best meets your needs and to establish a long-term relationship. The veterinarian will maintain a history of your pet, including health records that detail immuniza-tions, reactions to medications, behavior traits, etc. So, it’s important to see your veterinarian for all your pet’s health-care needs.
Tips to Help You in Selecting a Veterinarian
Office Hours
• Are they compatible with your schedule?
• Who covers the practice when the doctor is unavailable?
Professional Staff
• How are routine telephone calls handled?
• Can you request an appointment with a specific veterinarian?
• Do you feel comfortable talking with the doctor?
Fees and Payment
• What methods of payment are accepted?
• Is payment expected on the day of the visit or are pay-ment plans accepted?
Emergency Care
• How are emergency calls handled during and after regular office hours?
Finding a Clinic and Setting Up an Exam
The listings for veterinary hospitals and clinics starting on page 13 are organized by cities in the Denver metropolitan area. Select a hospital or clinic that is convenient for you.
You must call the veterinarian to schedule an appointment for this free health checkup and tell the receptionist that you have a new pet and the Healthy New Pet Guide and Free Veterinary Exam booklet. NOTE: It is also important to tell them the kind of pet you have adopted, as not all clin-ics work with all types of animals.
If you have difficulty locating a veterinarian, please visit www.davms.org and click on “Find Veterinarian” at the top of the page. You can search by county or city, veteri-narian or practice name, and other specific criteria such as medical specialty and board certifications. If you do not have access to the internet or still need assistance, you can also call the DAVMS office at 303.318.0447.
2015 Healthy New Pet Guide 4
Responsible Pet OwnershipIt’s exciting to have a new animal in your life – and that companion is excited to be part of your life!
Here’s some information to help you make the most of that relationship.
Sometimes, a challeng-ing behavior issue may surface shortly after you bring your new friend home, or even after things have been going well for awhile. These challenges may include soiling in the house, cats scratching on inappropri-ate items, and a dog’s biting behavior. If these or other challenging be-haviors occur, please take your pet for a veterinary exam. Many times prob-lem behaviors occur as a result of an illness, even when your pet does not appear to be sick. Only a physical examination by your family veterinar-ian can rule out a serious medical problem.
If your pet is healthy but still has any issues or be-havior problems, please:
• Check with your veterinarian to see if he or she may have other ideas or can suggest other veterinarians or animal care professionals whose practice specifically addresses behavior issues;
• Contact the animal shelter you worked with for sug-gestions related to your pet’s behavior; or
• Contact the Behavior Helpline at the Dumb Friends League at 303.751.5772, ext. 1086. If you need assis-tance in locating a veterinarian, please refer to the list-ings in this Healthy New Pet Guide.
Annual Exams
Sick or not, take your pet to your veterinarian at least once a year for a wellness exam. Preventive vaccinations and early disease detection are very important for your pet’s well-being. Also, pets age at a much faster rate than people, and these annual visits may reveal subtle signs of disease or illness not easily detected by the pet owner. Your veterinarian should be viewed as a partner in your pet’s care and development, not just a problem solver.
Nutrition
Different pets have different nutritional needs based on their age, health, and activity level. For example, a high-protein diet is great for growing puppies, but diets high in protein can aggravate kidney disease in an older pet. Ask your veterinarian to recommend the best food for your pet.
Water
Plenty of clean water should be available all day, every day – especially during the summer. If your pet spends time outdoors, make sure that his or her water doesn’t freeze during the winter or evaporate in the summer.
Shelter
Animals need a safe, secure place to live. Give outdoor dogs shelter from the weather and access to food and wa-ter. Tall fences can keep a dog at home where it belongs. Cats should be kept indoors to avoid hazards like cars, poi-sons, other animals, and disease. Free-roaming cats typical-ly live less than 5 years, while cats kept exclusively indoors often live to 17 years or more.
Identification
Identification—for both dogs and cats—is key to helping a lost pet find its way home. ID tags should be replaced when they become hard to read. If the shelter you adopt-ed your new pet from does not already do so, ask your veterinarian about microchipping—a permanent and in-expensive way to identify an animal. With microchipping, a tiny, sterile chip is injected just beneath the skin. Each microchip bears a number that, once registered (by the shelter, you, or your veterinarian), is reported to an inter-national database with your contact information. If your pet is ever lost, a veterinarian or shelter will read the chip with a scanner and reunite you with your wayward friend. Just be sure to keep your contact information up-dated if your phone number or address changes.
Spaying & Neutering
If it isn’t already, have your pet spayed or neutered. You’ll end up with a calmer, healthier pet and also help reduce the animal overpopulation problem.
Vaccinations
An initial series of immunizations is necessary to start a kitten or puppy on a lifetime free of certain preventable contagious diseases. Adult cats and dogs may also require certain vaccinations to protect them from disease, includ-ing the rabies vaccination, which is required by local law. There are a number of optional vaccines that may benefit your pet based on its lifestyle, including vaccines for ken-nel cough, canine influenza, and leptospirosis. It is impor-tant to discuss your pet’s lifestyle with your veterinarian so your pet is fully protected from preventable diseases.
Your veterinarian can determine if a behavioral problem is related to a possible medical issue.
2015 Healthy New Pet Guide5
Exercise
Like humans, pets need frequent exercise. Schedule time ev-ery day to take a walk together, throw a ball, dangle some string – anything to provide opportunities for exercise.
Dental Care
Dental care is a very necessary – and often overlooked – element of pet wellness. Dental disease can lead to more serious problems if untreated. Ask your veterinarian about an annual dental exam and what you can do to maintain good animal oral health.
Socialization & Behavior
For a social, well-trained pet, slowly expose him or her to people and animals. Set rules immediately and stick to them. Never physically punish an animal. Your veterinarian can give you the names of trainers or training programs.
Grooming
Ask your veterinarian or a professional groomer for recom-mendations to maintain your pet’s coat in the best manner. Pets need frequent exercise as well as plenty of
opportunities to socialize with other animals.

Welcoming Your New Pet
Welcoming a Cat
Before bringing your new kitty home, prepare spaces in your house in which it can eat, sleep, and use a litter box. You should also cat-proof your house, which includes putting poisonous chemicals, toxic plants, and other dangers out of the reach of cats – and remember that cats are remarkable leapers and climbers. Make sure that all windows are properly screened and
secure. Having a scratching post or box available will help save possible wear and tear on furniture.
• Spend time training your cat so that it becomes familiar with be-ing held and groomed and learns to interact with people and other animals in your home.
It’s exciting to have a new animal in your life – there’s no telling how much enjoyment you’ll get out of this new rela-tionship.
With that excitement, however, comes a lot of responsibility: you’ve accepted a living thing into your home, and its health and welfare are up to you. It’s important to realize that your pet is dependent on you for food, shelter, exercise, proper healthcare, companionship, and more – if you take care of your end of the bargain, your new pet is sure to reward you as part of the amazing human-animal bond.
Because this new pet will be part of your life for many years, here are some steps to make sure that your new relationship gets off on the right foot (and paw):
• No matter what kind of animal you’ve selected, be sure to sched-ule a veterinary examination right away so that your pet’s health can be determined. Veterinarians are your go-to experts when it comes to not only evaluating your new companion’s current health, but also advising about proper immu-nization, nutrition, socialization, training, grooming, and other ways to ensure your pet’s contin-ued health. The veterinarians listed in this booklet are willing to pro-vide a free veterinary examination for your new companion – that’s how important this initial examina-tion is.
• Be sure to schedule regular well-ness examinations with your veter-inarian as well – just as in human health, preventive care is incred-ibly important when it comes to your pet’s health.
Take time each day to play with your animals – they’ll appreciate the chance to be with you and get exercise as well!
Special Notes for Kittens and Puppies
If you’ve decided to bring a very young animal into your home, there are a few addi-tional key points to remember.
Kittens require additional time for litter box training and socialization, as well as more frequent time for feeding and supervision.
For puppies, be prepared for several weeks or even months of house-training. Also, it’s crucial in the early weeks and months of a puppy’s life to take time to socialize and train it to be the kind of well-behaved dog you want. Frequent and positive contact during this time will make its future interaction with people and other animals much more positive.
2015 Healthy New Pet Guide7
• Provide a variety of toys for your cat – and spend plenty of time with it – so that it can have lots of opportunities to exercise its body and stimulate its mind.
• To reduce the risk of injury and disease, cats should always be kept indoors. And even indoor cats should wear a collar with proper identificaiton.
Welcoming a Dog
Make spaces for your dog to eat and sleep before you bring it home, and have accessories such as a collar with ID tag and leash ready. Pet-proofing a home for a dog includes removing toxic items as well as making sure that electrical cords and wires are out of reach.
• Set aside time each day to spend time with your dog – it’s the best way to make sure that it doesn’t get bored and take that boredom out in destructive ways.
• Taking walks, playing with toys, and petting and grooming your dog are all great activities that have added benefits for both you and your pet.
• Dogs appreciate opportunities to interact with people and other animals. Please don’t isolate your dog to the backyard with no chance to play with animals or people – it’s one of the very worst things you can do to these highly social animals. Isolating a dog will almost always result in serious be-havioral issues – your dog wants to be part of the pack!
Did You Know?
Depending on the size and age of the animal, the normal heartrate for a dog is 80-120 beats per minute (bpm); for cats, it’s 100-130 bpm (normal for human adults is 60-100 bpm).

Frequently Asked QuestionsQ. What does “DVM” stand for?
A. In the United States, graduates of veterinary schools are awarded a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree, or the Veterinariae Medicinae Doctoris (VMD) degree if they are a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. Like those for human medicine, veterinary school programs last for four years with at least one year dedicated to clinical rotations. Admission into veterinary school is very competitive; prerequisites include veterinary medicine undergraduate studies and lots of veterinary and other animal-related experience (as much as 1,000 hours). The average veterinary student has an undergraduate GPA of 3.5.
Q. Why is it important to put so much effort into finding a veterinarian?
A. More than ever before, companion animals are an important part of people’s lives. Thanks to pet owners’ careful monitoring of their animals for early signs of illness, as well as the availability of high-quality medical services and products, today’s pets are living longer lives. It only makes sense, given the attention
that pet owners pay to their pets’ needs, that a reasonable amount of time should go into selecting a health care provider for those pets as well.
Q. Why is there such a wide range of prices for the same procedure(s) among veterinarians?
A. Prices are set by each individual veterinary practice and each one has different expenses that are covered by fees charged (e.g., state and local taxes, salaries, rent, utilities, equipment overhead, continuing education, etc.). Often, the different prices do not reflect the same set of services, even though there may be certain basic procedures in common. The choice of potentially better but more costly drugs, the availability and use of newer surgical and medical products, and the choice of an individualized, safer anesthetic procedure for your pet represent some of the many reasons for “cost of service” variations.
Q. Should I be wary of “bargain basement” veterinary care? Why?
A. As with most products and services, you usually get what you pay for. Comparing price alone, however, does not reflect the level of service veterinary practitioners provide. You are entitled to ask your doctor for charges in advance. In veterinary care, the development of a close doctor/client/pet relationship is of utmost importance. The knowledge your veterinarian has of your pet from past physicals, along with his or her recognition of your concerns—financial, personal, and pet-oriented—enables him or her to guide you in selecting the best health care choices for your pet.
DAVMS endorses the best possible care for each animal taking into consideration the owner’s financial constraints. Remember that a low-cost treatment choice may even cost you more in the long run.
Q. What should I do if my pet has an emergency on a weekend or holiday?
A. Prepare yourself for emergencies by talking to your veterinarian in advance about after-hours policies and emergency care. Carry your veterinarian’s phone number and any other emergency numbers with you and make sure that everyone else in your household and petsitters have them as well. And anytime you feel that your animal needs medical attention or that something is not right, don’t hesitate to call your veterinarian right away.

Summertime in Colorado means lots of fun in the sun – and by following just a few pet safety guidelines, your animals can safely enjoy all the good times with you. Heatstroke in dogs is a serious medical emergency (see article, this page); prevention is easy and it’s in your hands.
• Never leave pets in the car – crack-ing the windows isn’t nearly enough; the temperature inside a vehicle with the windows com-pletely down can get dangerously hot (over 120 degrees even on a relatively cool day) very quickly. If you’re motoring about and your pets can’t leave the car with you, leave them at home.
• Always provide your pet access to plenty of fresh water at all times – both in and out of doors.
• On very hot days, keep walks shorter and at a slower pace (and don’t forget the water). Overexer-tion can lead to serious problems. If your dog starts panting exces-sively or seems tired, cut the walk short.
• Because very young, elderly, and ill animals aren’t able to regulate their body temperatures very well, keep them inside on very hot days. Keep in mind that short-nosed dog breeds like Pugs and Peking-ese have a more difficult time cooling off because they aren’t able to pant very efficiently. Also, the extra fat on overweight dogs can trap heat in their bodies and make it more difficult for them to breathe.
Heatstroke Can Be Fatal
If your dog is panting excessively and has any of the following symptoms:
• a staring or anxious expression
• does not obey commands
• warm, dry skin
• a high fever
• a rapid heartbeat
• vomiting
• collapsing
Call your veterinarian immediately! You must also lower the dog’s body temperature as quickly as possible. Immerse the dog in a body of water, spray it with a hose, or cover the hairless areas of the dog’s body with wet towels.

Are you prepared to help your furry friend when they need it most? Many of us are certified in human first aid and CPR, but what about when our pets are in trouble? Your pet depends on you for his or her well-being. In addition to providing daily care, love, and affection, your best friend depends on you in an emergency.
While getting your pet to a veterinarian quickly is essential, here are some tips to help you deal with an emergency situation and help to save your pet’s life:
• Always approach a sick or injured animal slowly and cautiously.
• Watch the body expressions and sounds your pet makes to warn you. Even your own pet can be aggressive when in pain or frightened.
Pet First Aid
• Do not make quick, jerky, or loud movements. They might further scare your pet.
• When necessary, use towels or blankets to subdue cats or small dogs.
• Keep your pet’s medical conditions and emergency veterinarian information with you or on the animal.
• Research emergency veterinarians in your area as well as where you are traveling, hiking, etc.
• Stock a pet first aid kit in your home and make one for travel (ask your veterinarian for your pet’s specific needs).
• Take the American Red Cross Pet First Aid Course to learn how to:
• Administer medications • Recognize an emergency • Perform CPR and first aid • Treat common problems and
emergencies • Stock a pet first aid kit

Most importantly, extra special care and attention from our staff, who
are committed to going your expectations in providing asafe and loving place for your dog! Contact us today to become part of the “B&B” family!
BEYOND
In addition to our 10K sf outdoor yard, we have recently expanded over 5000 sf with indoor “all-day-play” group rooms, featuring recycled rubber oors for a cushioned play turf with great traction, and dog-specic playground equipment!
Separate play areas allow us to match dogs with others of like temperament, so their playtime experience is more enjoyable.
Most of our staff members have adopted rescue & shelter dogs themselves, and we directly help two local rescue organizations. We pride ourselves in helping socialize dogs, enabling them to participate in group play, even some who have been turned away from other daycares.
15+ year reputation for exceptional care by our staff, operating as “B&B for D.O.G.” 90% of our new customers come fromcustomer and Vet referrals--the service hasn’t changed, only the name: We’re the NEW “B&B”
Did you know that
...Eliminate owner-absent behavior problemsDogs, by nature, are highly social animals and love being part of the “pack.” When a dog is isolatedfor long periods of time, their mental health can suffer due to increased stress levels. This can result inmany behavior problems, including barking, whining and howling, destruction, as well as boredom and depression. Feeling neglected can also lead a dog to lose trust in its owner, or lash out.
...Build condence
...Develop excellent social skills
Daycare is probably one of the most important gifts you cangive to your dog--and yourself. Regular play with other dogsbuilds good socialization skills and eliminates owner-absent behavior problems; resulting in acalmer, more condent dog that’s not as likely to bark, bite, or become fearful or aggressive.
...Maintain good physical AND mental health
...Decrease stress
Providing exercise through free play with other dogs, and organized play and games that exercise both mind and body, with rest periods when needed, createsa “perfect day” for your dog. In most cases, owners notice a positive change in their dog’s behavior after attending doggie daycare regularly--they are transformedinto healthier, calmer, and more easily controlled pets.
